Coconut flour baked “oatmeal” is a hearty breakfast porridge made without grains ! It is also vegan, gluten-free, oil-free and nut-free.
Healthy Baked Porridge, Made without Grains
This cozy breakfast bake has magical powers.
It has the ability to make you feel warm, cozy and spoiled as you eat it (perfect for a lazy, chilly Sunday morning) yet leaves you feeling energized, satisfied, and ready to tackle the day (e.g., running with friends, biking with the kids, or attacking that looming mountain of laundry).
Further, while this casserole is reminiscent of baked oatmeal (which is typically bound with eggs), it is grain-free, vegan, gluten-free and high in protein.
If that’s not magic, what is?
(Umm…did I mention how quick and easy it is, too?)
Ingredients for Coconut Flour Baked “Oatmeal”
The enchantment from this porridge stems from a short list of power ingredients:
- coconut flour
- ripe bananas
- coconut sugar
- flaxseed meal
- coconut milk
When combined, and then baked, these humble ingredients produce an irresistible breakfast or brunch dish that is slightly soft and pudding-like while still warm, but can be cut into bars once completely cooled and chilled.
I’ve added dried fruit and an assortment of seeds, but you can add up to a cup of fresh berries (e.g., blueberries or raspberries), additional diced firm-ripe bananas or diced mango.
Now, please excuse me, I have more fluff reading to savor before heading out for a run. Enjoy!

Hi Camilla, That sounds really good. I'm always looking for something new for breakfast. With my kiddos having a banana allergy, do you know if subbing applesauce will work just as well?

Hi Sheri! I have not tried it, but I think applesauce would work just fine. Same, too, for unsweetened pumpkin (you might want to add a touch more sweetness for both, since the banana adds sweetness, too). :)

Wow, this looks really good. I think I'll make it with some added blueberries. I already have the coconut flour. Could I use almond milk instead of coconut milk?

Hi Raven, You need the extra fat from the coconut milk here, so if you are going to use almond milk (which is really low in fat), cut back on the milk by 1 or 2 tbsp and replace it with 1 or 2 tbsp fat (e.g., melted coconut oil, olive oil, etc).
